The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The worst part is that his daughter Rhianna, who holds all the rights, is probably in on this.

The Cosgrove Hall animated serieses of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters might have been cheap and low budget, but they were at least faithful to the source material and actually amusing and made sense. This just looks like a vulgar display of power. "Yeah, we've got the rights to a much loved media property, now watch as we defile it in front of your very eyes with the connivance of the author's estate, and there's nothing you can do. So get back in your pod and consoome like a good little bugman."

Fuck. That. Noise.

The Wyrd Sisters cartoon was amazing despite looking just slightly above CD-I Zelda.

Also, Christopher Lee as Death.

That dislike ratio keeps going up and I love it.

Rhianna was involved in the shitty tomb raider reboot, had no respect for the original Lara Croft and kept pushing new Lara to be a lesbian (although she could have been lying just to please the shippers).
Good Omens adaptation also turned God into woman among other unnecessary woke bullshit.
So yeah...since Terry's gone and can't say a word on this it's better to just stick to the books.

Rhianna cannot write a story to save her life

I mean,Tomb Rider 2013? A game where She was ripping off Apocalypse Now and Conan the Barbarian every time She could and failed spectacularly?

How You can steal from John Milius and fail so bad? That's worst than Homer Simpson trying to prepare cereal

That reboot sucked to begin with. Tomb Raider was good when it was about a cool character with 2 handguns, exploring and cool. The reboot Lara reminds me of what American pandering late night TV show assholes imagine how british english sounds like, or they cum so much to that, i friggin hate them so much

That doesn't bode well for me. I once tried one of their microwavable instant soups and thought I was eating the cardboard packaging it came in.



Or be like Ninjette's clan in "Empowered" and point out that you don't need arms or legs to get pregnant while brandishing a sword.



I'm of two minds here: Hideo Kojima is a good writer and storyteller, but the man needs to be reigned in to a certain extent. Giving him an unlimited budget and indefinite development time is asking for trouble.



Wait...wasn't it Gail Simone who came up with that? Or did Anita Sarkeesian do a series of videos with the same name?



Kevin Bacon made the same observation about "Hollow Man". He noted that audiences seemed more disturbed that he invisi-killed a dog than when he invisi-raped a woman.



I agree. It's probably cheaper to book a voice actor once for two hours and have him record as much dialogue as possible to cover every possible contingency than to book a second session for pickups (especially due to potential scheduling conflicts).



Something tells me that a black transwoman mercilessly beating an old straight white man to death with a golf club may have been the only way to get people to like Abby given the current zeitgeist.

Anita did a Tropes vs. Women video about it. And straight up admitted she hadn't read the comics she was talking about. Of course she didn't play the games she talked about either and ended up stealing footage from other channels because she couldn't be bothered to procure her own. That would require actually doing the work herself and I fancy Anita as the type who keeps looking down at her controller and asking someone what button she should press to shoot.

Abby as a black transwoman might have procured some praise for the Joel in One. It would be by crazy radical types. But hey, "she" is simultaneously smashing (quite literally) both the patriarchy and white privilege.

I'm late but let's appreciate Esther, Joel's girlfriend. She was too good for this shitty game anyway.

"We didn't have time"
They sure had time for all these bitches in Abby's gang. RIP the only good romance in this game

Not enough time to establish Esther. But enough time to to have a random troon pop into the scene and beat Joel's brains in with a golf club. Can't establish Esther as a person you can bond with. But enough time to mocap a dry anal pounding between Abby and a man whose girlfriend is one month away from having his baby. And due to Abby's insane revenge quest the whole family dies anyway and the baby never even gets to be born.

No one is bonding with Abby and no one cares about her friends. Total failure here. Cuckman must really hate Joel. Maybe some kid named Joel got the girl he used to fap to in highschool or something stupid like that.

I have two questions

  1. How do you turn a homely looking girl like that into a macho ma'am cave troll
  2. What are the odds Druckman was creeping on her, this is some weir creep move putting her likeness in game and we get a me too story about him in a couple of years.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: If it doesn't later turn out he's some sort of creepy sex pervert I'm going to be fucking stunned.

Watching Pewdiepie's stream and something stood out to me. They're planning an assault on an enemy base and this guy mentions 'a storm coming, a few days out.' Hey Druckmann, how the fuck are they predicting the weather multiple days out? They have weather radar in the zombie post apocalypse? Not a huge deal or anything, just another little example of the little details you miss when you don't actually care about your setting and are entirely focused on character drama and agenda bullshit.

Many fandoms should do as classic gamers (such as @Randall Fragg) have always done when adversity hits, and enter the long sleep. Let's say you have a time when all the new content is shit, complaining about it isn't helping, And every new arrival is worse than the last. The work is pandering to people who really shouldn't be pandered to, you're getting content on par with the Complete Book of Elves, and all it's doing is piss people off. Corporate sure as shit isn't listening to you.

What is one to do?

You retreat to the proverbial Fortress of Solitude. You play early edition and homebrew shit in the case of tabletop games. In the case of Vidya or books/movies, you play the older edition games, read the appropriate books, or watch the right movies to assure yourself that yes, they were actually good at one point. You do other shit, too. Play games you've not tried before, touch base with cool ideas you never considered. "Oh shit, that new cyborg mermaid RPG is out? Fuck, I gotta check that shit out." You make fun of silly shit like FATAL or that horrible witch RPG that is loaded to the gills with the author's fetishes.

You do this and you wait. Eventually, the stupid will burn itself out. It always does, either because the person responsible gets ejected from the industry or inevitably money runs out and the thing goes bankrupt. Either is technically a win, since the former can result in the thing cleaning up its act and the latter at worst means it can't be hurt anymore and at best means it will get a proper resurgence.

We've been down this road, we've survived once before, we'll do so again.

The problem is more the sameness of tipple a gaming right now, the walk talk sim with pretty realistic graphics was dominant for so long. finally theres some major competition after years of it, I would say the solution is much less dormancy and just getting more picky than picking up a sequel due to being a sequel and picking a game up because of how it builds itself up.
